Similar to the way thread-viewing was broken after a thread was archived, (and recently fixed), tag manipulation has also been broken when the thread no longer matches the current search. This also means that the behavior of '+' and '-' are now different than that of '*'. The '+' and '-' bindings now return to the previous behavior old affecting all messages in the thread, (and not simply those matching the search). I actually prefer this behavior, since otherwise a '-' operation on a thread might not actually remove the tag from the thread, (since it could operate on a subset of the thread and not hit all messages with the given tag). So I'd now like to fix '*' to be consistent with '+' and '-', for which we add an item to TODO. |

Notmuch - thread-based email index, search and tagging.
Notmuch is a system for indexing, searching, reading, and tagging
large collections of email messages. It uses the Xapian library to
provide fast, full-text search of very large collection of email with
a very convenient search syntax.
Notmuch is free software, released under the GNU General Public
License version 3 (or later).
Building notmuch
----------------
See the INSTALL file for notes on compiling and installing notmuch.
Contacting users and developers
-------------------------------
The website for Notmuch is:
http://notmuchmail.org
The mailing list address for the notmuch community is:
notmuch@notmuchmail.org
We welcome any sort of questions, comments, kudos, or code there.
Subscription is not required, (but if you do subscribe you'll avoid
any delay due to moderation). See the website for subscription
information.
There is also an IRC channel dedicated to talk about using and
developing notmuch:
IRC server: irc.freenode.net
Channel: #notmuch
Interface options
-----------------
Notmuch includes a "notmuch" command-line interface to the system.
This is not a very convenient interface and it is not expected that
users will find it satisfying. Instead, there are two option for
obtaining a more sophisticated interface:
1. Build on top of the "notmuch" command-line interface.
This might be a reasonable option for a very text-oriented
client environment. For example, an emacs-based interface for
notmuch is already under development and is available in the
notmuch.el file in this distribution.
If someone were to write a curses-based interface, or similar,
it might also be reasonable to build on the "notmuch"
command-line interface.
2. Build on top of the notmuch library interface.
This is a better choice for developing an interface that has
full control of the presentation of email threads and
messages. It is expected that anyone integrating Notmuch into
an existing, graphical email program use the notmuch library
interface.
The public interface to the notmuch library is contained in
the notmuch.h header file. The "notmuch" command-line program
in notmuch.c can be used as good example code, since it is a
simple program that is written on top of the library
interface.
As can be seen, alternate interfaces to the Notmuch mail system are
still in development. We would appreciate any contributions to these
efforts.
